The Endless Atlas

The Endless Atlas is an interesting collaborative art project dedicated to finding and curating the sometimes beautiful and sometimes mundane imagery that can be found on Google Maps Street View.

The found Street View images can be explored on The Endless Atlas Google Map, via the image tags or in collected 'itineraries'. If you want to take part in the project you can submit your own Street View discoveries to the Endless Atlas.

The Endless Atlas map makes good use of the Google Maps API Styled Maps feature to create a minimal map style. If you like the style you can find the Javascript style array used on the Endless Atlas on Snazzy Maps.
